The January 12th meeting of West Suburban Patriots will focus on property taxes and township government. Issues that will be discussed include: How are properties assessed? How are property tax rates set? What is the township responsible for? In suburban areas (where most land is incorporated), would it make sense to merge township government with county government? Illinois has over 6,000 governing bodies (the most in the nation), all supported by taxpayer dollars. These questions are worth…See More
